Listen to Buffalo Soldier - key lyric "Woy yo yo" - and The Tra La La Song, and it might seem like there is an echo in the room. _________________________ Visit EVstreet

OK, there's some similarity. But "Buffalo Soldiers" wasn't released until two years after Bob died, so it's entirely possible that Bob never meant the "Wo Yo Yo" vocal track to be on the final recording. I don't blame John Lennon, Biggie Smalls, or Tupac Shakur for any of the dozens of posthumous releases made in their names, either.
